*TIPS* How to get better at the crucible

DISCLAIMER: a quick stat check will reveal im average at PvP...however, I have really improved in crucible, and I feel like its my favorite part of the game. I would like this thread to be full of things that will help people do better on the crucible. Please add to this, start/continue discussion, etc. The only replies should be helpful or ones that ask questions. [b]Intro[/b] I will say this: the crucible has the highest learning curve I have maybe ever seen for a console FPS for quite some time (maybe even since halo:ce) Bottom line: if you think crucible is awful, its most likely because you are bad at it. Here is a thread with the hopes of getting you better. Please add to the list in sequential order 1. PICK UP HEAVY AMMO WHEREVER POSSIBLE. I cant believe how much this ia a game changer if an entire team understands this. This dates back to halo 1: control the power weapon, control the game. 2. Do not neglect the sniper rifle. I hardly see people sniping, yet it might be the easiest sniper gameplay I have ever seen on a FPS. Reminds me of halo 1. The sniper is amazing for racking up kills. 3. Get to know the maps. The more experienced tou are at a map, the morelikely you will be able to unserstand "map flow"--- how often people are at locations around a map and when. This is key in winning. 4. Play with a team. I play a lot by myself, but I can tell you that everytime I have gone into crucible with a full team, 9/10 games we win. Why? Communication. Plain and simple. 5. Dont get frustrated. For everytime you get killed with the OP blade dancer or anything else you deem OP...realize you have a counter. 6. DO NOT TRUST THE RADAR! If you see a red blip, try to estimate where the oponent will be...dont focus on the radar...focus o your surroundings! This ties in heavily with point #3 7. Dont think any class overpowered. They all have ups and downs. Play with your subclass setups....that is the real trick. 8. On control: capture a point and CONTROL it. You dont need to have all three! 9. Handcannons are underutilized. 10. You should save your super. Really, they ate awesome to use on more then one person. Stop doing fist of havoc on a lone guy in objecti e games. 11.TEAMSHOT!!!! This is a staple in all bungie games. Pop shots and help your teammates. This is a key for winning gun battles. 12. Dont be a lone wolf. Stick around your team, just dont smother them in case of rockets or specials! 13. Stop complaining. Everything that is being done to you you can do right back. 14. Take mental notes of what the other team is using. Getting decimated by the shotgun at every turn? Simple. Hang back and dont rush! Dont feed the enemy kills! 15. Dont try to win one one gun battles unless you get off first. 9/10 times the person who shoots first will win, unless the opponents have a severe discrepancy in skill level. Take cover, get your shield back and then try. 16. Crouch. I cant tell you how underutilized crouch is. 17. Stop being stubborn. If you die a couple times in a row rushing in..change your strategy ! Post yours!

    [b]Control[/b] If you die, you usually respawn at or near a Point that your Team controls. If you notice skulls popping up near that control point, find a secluded corner near that point (but not ON it) and Crouch, removing you from their radar. You can get the jump on them usually, and a grenade in their faces followed by a few well placed shots from your primary of choice can usually kill 2-3 people. [b]Team Deathmatch Mode (Skirmish? I forget)[/b] Stick with your team but DO NOT crowd them. Supers and Rockets will kill you all. If you're in the back of the pack, fall back a few steps. I can't tell you how many times I've seen 4-5 people killed by one Void Bomb, Fist of Havok, or well placed Rocket. [b]Rumble (Free For All)[/b] Proceed with Caution. Don't be afraid to jump into a 1v1 Firefight, kill the guy with more health first and then turn on the weaker guy. Unless one of them turns on you, then kill that guy first. Learn to prioritize threats on the fly. Any maneuver that leaves you out in the open for more than a few seconds at a time is likely to get you killed, so don't rush through big, open areas, find a spot that lets you zip from cover to cover. [b] General Tips [/b] Aim for the center of the chest with any Multi Shot weapons (Not Scout Rifle/Hand Cannon), muzzle climb will make any shot after the first a little higher than the last, and 2 in the chest then 1 in the head is better than 1 in the head and 2 over it. If you get popped by a sniper from across the map every time you pass through a certain door, STOP using that door! Learn all classes' supers, and learn to counter them. If you're having trouble, look it up on YouTube. For Blade Dancer, jump around like crazy, the Lunge misses like crazy, and even if he kills you, you've eaten up time he could have spent slicing up your teammates. Stats don't reflect it, but be glad of your Assists. KD might not be impacted, but it takes a few shots to count as an assist, so even if it's not your kill, hurting them helped someone else on your team finish them off. Even the best players will have a bad match once in a while, for one reason or another. I have 0.6 Matches and 2.6 matches, if you keep getting paired with people who can't work as a team, back out of matchmaking and then rejoin.
